With thanx to Tim Holtz for the idea! Dripping some alcohol inks (I used Lettuce, Citrus & Lemonade)on glossy cardstock, used an airbrush to blow it around on the paper. Finished with some Crackle Accents on the centre.
On Tentwostudios Lisa has posted another countdown with wonderful printables for St Patrick's Day , so go check it out! This is one of the printables I used from the countdown last year.
Maybe this card inspires the weathergods to bring us frosty weather this winter, so we can do some iceskating and m a y b e have another Elfstedentocht......
Again, the background is an idea I learned by studying M Zindorfs blog. I made this in 2 colours, will show both of them. I love the colour of the blue one, but I think the green one turned out much better, it was the 2nd one I made.
I have been creating some art following tutorials by M Zindorf again. This is one of them. I really like the colour combination of layering on the black and the green!
On LayersOfColor this week's challenge is Farewell, it's the last one. I loved all the challenges, although I didn't have time to participate every week. My farewell is to the summer, so this will be my entry:
on LayersOfColor the challenge this week is roses. I made a card with a dutch children's poem. It says: Are you angry? Pick a rose, put it on your hat and all will be good.... This is it:
A combination of 2 challenges, namely on Rainbow Lady (transport) and on CreatedByHand (dream). My dream is to make once in my life a long trip by train..... So this is my contribution:
Again I combined 2 challenges on this card, for LayersOfColor this week the color is Yellow and on ThisThursday it is the use of Ribbons&Bows. Here is my card:
The challenge on 4*4 friday this week is to create your own handmade background. For my background I stamped the hearts with versamark on white mulberry paper, then heat-embossed them, painted the mulberry paper and ironed the paper to remove the embossing.
On TGIF the theme this week is Earth Colors and on Arty Girlz it is vintage, so I combined the 2 challenges to this (the colors are in real a bit softer, but the scanner couldn't get it better, I think because of the buttons):
On TMTA this weeks theme are Dog Days/Hundstage when it is supposed to be warm and hot weather.......I made this atc for the theme, with a little wink to the Dog :-)
On Mixed Media Monday last weeks challenge was to create art on a Thrinchie (3 x 3 inch). Just in time I made this today. Background is made with alcohol ink, on that some stamped flowers, the butterfly is cut out of a calendar.
